Kiddushin is the Hebrew word for “marriage.” It comes from the same root as kodesh, which means “holy.” At Congregation Shalom we celebrate the formation of Jewish families through the traditions of our people and hope to assist you in making your ceremony unique and special. We know that Jewish families today come in many different forms. We encourage engaged couples to speak directly with one of our clergy in order to prepare for the ceremony and the marriage.
